I recently got a nice 16 track MCI 2inch machine in the studio I've been working from,. Machine has been setup and biased, new roll of tape etc and I was wondering what the pro's and con's of using it for capturing the mixies off the desk on digital recordings.

I've done some tests before it was set up, just running existing mixing to it and capturing it at both 15ips and 30ips..

I much preferred the sound at 30 with the top end.

Is there any issues with using it as a (glorified) 2 track capture machine?
